  I want you to know this, that every believer has all the equipment necessary
• 0:08
  to walk in victory every day.
• 0:08
  Music.
• 0:11
  That doesn't mean every day is going to be easy, but it does mean that you can walk in victory.
• 0:17
  Welcome to the One Cry Podcast, a nationwide call for spiritual awakening.
• 0:23
  The goal, accelerating the movement of God through sharing revival truth, stories, and reports.
• 0:33
  Hey well welcome to the one cry podcast i am kyle reno and this is not bill ellis.
• 0:39
  This is david jet man he has
• 0:42
  been my pastor for a long time y'all have
• 0:44
  heard his name innumerable times and
• 0:48
  we get the privilege of serving together and we've been on a
• 0:51
  long spiritual journey it's been a lot of fun and maybe you've
• 0:54
  already listened to the last two episodes if
• 0:57
  you've not time to push pause on this episode
• 1:00
  and go back two weeks because we really started
• 1:03
  a series based out of a book that you've
• 1:06
  recently written called stand right and that is
• 1:09
  really honestly walking back into your
• 1:12
  ministry life and see where god did some things in you
• 1:16
  started showing you the spiritual world right and
• 1:19
  spiritual realm and specifically even around the demonic right and so it's been
• 1:23
  awesome and we won we started the journey well making sure that we don't go
• 1:26
  to weirdsville or chasing stuff but in pursuit of god right and i would say
• 1:31
  in light of the one cry in in pursuit of a real move of god revival spiritual
• 1:36
  awakening that's always,
• 1:39
  going to end up finding itself in a spiritual war right.
• 1:43
  And then last week, man, was so helpful to help people sort of get a grid on how the demonic works,
• 1:50
  you know, and how the enemy entices and tangles man and how he's trying to entrap
• 1:56
  people and ultimately to enslave even.
• 1:59
  And how and I bet I know this has always been true for me.
• 2:04
  Of course, I cut my teeth spiritually on this from 19.
• 2:07
  It helped me just realize the war that I face. Right.
• 2:11
  Yeah. and we all face but then also how to help people so today though man one
• 2:17
  you gotta know this about uh is we get fired up talking about kingdom stuff
• 2:22
  but we're we're also old uh meatheads.
• 2:25
  Football baseball kind of guys and and i i think that this relates to the kingdom,
• 2:32
  man if i don't know how to win i don't want to play right you know like if i
• 2:36
  don't know the rules You know, and you talk about frustrating. Right.
• 2:41
  And I think a lot of believers, specifically in the spiritual war,
• 2:46
  and even pastors and ministry, just, man, how do I help people win in this spiritual battle?
• 2:52
  So today, man, take us on the journey. Yeah.
• 2:55
  Yeah. Whenever you say something like that, I think about the guy who wanders
• 2:58
  out on an NFL football field in the middle of the game and gets just hammered. Yeah.
• 3:04
  And then what just happened? And, you know, then he realizes where he is.
• 3:10
  And I think that happens to a lot of believers.
• 3:12
  I don't think we do that consciously, but I think if you're not functioning in that awareness,
• 3:19
  it just—what I say is it puts you at a very limited enjoyment of what it means
• 3:26
  to walk with God and an understanding of what it is.
• 3:30
  I'd say this to anybody watching years ago.
• 3:33
  I'll never forget this, thinking about kind of that idea.
• 3:36
  I was driving down there, I was going to the hospital and I was just,
• 3:39
  oh, I know to say it, I say it, I was getting my clock cleaned.
• 3:42
  I felt like when I turned around, the enemy was just hammering on me.
• 3:46
  I mean, he was hammering.
• 3:47
  And, you know, I was kind of having a little pity party. You know,
• 3:50
  if you've ever invited God into your pity party, you're driving.
• 3:53
  And I just said, I don't get it. Yeah, I'm I'm walking with you. I'm reading my Bible.
• 3:58
  I'm doing everything I believe, you know, and I'm getting beat up.
• 4:01
  And just as calm as it could, the spirit of God in me just said,
• 4:05
  Well, why do you think you put the armor on?
• 4:07
  Right. And then he said, you don't put the armor on so you won't get hit.
• 4:12
  You put it on so you don't get hurt.
• 4:14
  And man, that just helped me realize that that's the war, that one day we're
• 4:19
  going to stand before God.
• 4:20
  And I don't want to stand before him and be able to turn my armor back in and
• 4:25
  him say, well, this has never been used. You sat on the bench the whole time.
• 4:28
  Man, I want it to look like we've been in war. And I know you do, too. That's right.
• 4:31
  And so as we're stepping into this last week, we talked about all those different
• 4:35
  things. But hey, you know what I know?
• 4:37
  I know that some of you that are watching right now are saying,
• 4:40
  but what do I do? What do I do?
• 4:43
  And I've just learned that what people sometimes want is not really what's best.
• 4:49
  I'm not going to give you steps to follow because I think that's a danger.
• 4:55
  In fact, if you think about, go read the various healings that Jesus did. They're all different.
• 5:00
  Go look at the way people were delivered that Jesus would deliver them.
• 5:03
  It was different. And I think there's a variety there, not because we got to
• 5:08
  learn all those different things, but because it's the Holy Spirit that's going
• 5:11
  to guide. So there's some basic principles we need to know and some,
• 5:15
  what I say, fences that we want to function within.
• 5:17
  Of course, the Word of God being the ultimate foundational fence guided by the Spirit.
• 5:23
  Yeah. We want to function there. But there are some things that I think are important.
• 5:27
  One is that I want you to know this, that every believer has all the equipment
• 5:33
  necessary to walk in victory every day.
• 5:37
  That doesn't mean every day is going to be easy, but it does mean that you can walk in victory.
• 5:43
  And so I just say that there are three basic areas of equipment that God has given every believer.
• 5:51
  Nobody has them more than others or anything. We all have them.
• 5:55
  And the first one is the way I call it in my book. I call it the warrior's heart.
• 6:01
  And just make it for us to understand maybe the biblical vernacular.
• 6:06
  It's the fruit of the Spirit.
• 6:08
  It's the heart of Jesus, the character of Christ living in us,
• 6:13
  that that heart has to be the way we function, not only in all of life,
• 6:18
  but especially in the demonic.
• 6:20
  I can't tell you how many times as I'm talking with somebody who's,
• 6:24
  you can tell they're demonized and it's bad, where literally,
• 6:28
  it's a supernatural love for them just comes over me.
• 6:33
  And I know it's the love of the Father that he loves hurting people.
• 6:36
  And so that's essential.
• 6:38
  And the only way I know you get that is by daily surrender, by daily trusting
• 6:44
  Christ, by living in brokenness and humility. That's all I know to do.
• 6:48
  And so I would say that's first.
• 6:51
  A second area of equipment that God's given us is the armor of God.
• 6:55
  You find that in Ephesians where you've got the armor. It, again,
• 6:59
  is the Lord Jesus, but we're putting him on as our armor, the belt of truth,
• 7:05
  the breastplate of righteousness. all of those things.
• 7:07
  And as I am putting them on, I am engaging the day.
• 7:11
  And then the third piece of equipment that I promise for some of you here,
• 7:16
  you may not think this, but equipment that you have and probably use more than
• 7:20
  you know, is the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
• 7:23
  Now, I know for some that may be a little bit of a touchy subject,
• 7:26
  but in my book, I try to help people understand about those,
• 7:31
  that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not this weird, oddball thing.
• 7:36
  It's the activity of God's kingdom being released through us.
• 7:40
  I had a guy years ago, you know the guy, actually.
• 7:43
  He was talking to me and came on staff with us, and he just said,
• 7:47
  Brother David, I believe in the gifts, but I don't walk in them.
• 7:51
  I said, he says, you know, do I need to repent or something?
• 7:54
  And I just said, hey, man, you do walk in them. And he was kind of like, well, what do you mean?
• 7:59
  And I just asked him what I would ask you. Have you ever been praying for somebody?
• 8:03
  And all of a sudden, you just feel led to pray a particular way for that person.
• 8:08
  And I know you have. And here's what I said.
• 8:11
  I said to him, and I would say to you, why couldn't that be a word of wisdom
• 8:16
  or a word of knowledge or even a word of prophecy that God has given to you for them?
• 8:23
  And here's how I try to say it is the Holy Spirit's not big on labels.
• 8:28
  He just wants to be released. And so those are the equipment that God has given
• 8:33
  us to function in that world. I don't know what's happening in the spirit world, but you know what?
• 8:38
  The Holy Spirit has many times gifted me with a discerning of spirits to help
• 8:43
  guide me in what the enemy's doing.
• 8:46
  It's not a hard thing. It's just walking with God. And so we see that.
• 8:50
  But here's what I would say. Yeah.
• 8:52
  And so I would say this again, maybe, you know, as we're talking about this,
• 8:55
  looking at it is, okay, somebody comes in and they're a mess.
• 9:00
  And we realize they're a mess.
• 9:02
  We've gone through and we realize they're a mess. And for this moment,
• 9:07
  I just want to say that, as I said last week, I said about 95% of them are in
• 9:11
  those first three, enticement,
• 9:14
  entanglement, entrapment, in those areas.
• 9:18
  So let's just kind of start with them.
• 9:21
  Is the way that I try to explain it and what I want to try to help you maybe,
• 9:26
  and I do this in the book, to understand it. I just want you to maybe think
• 9:30
  about the word boat, B-O-A-T, and think about it as an acrostic.
• 9:35
  And so I'm going to try to help you understand what I have found helps people
• 9:40
  get set free. And the Bible talks about this.
• 9:42
  So the B stands for beliefs.
• 9:45
  And beliefs, let me just tell you what they are. They're an acceptance of a thing as being true.
• 9:51
  So you're accepting something, you're believing something to be true, whatever that is.
• 9:56
  It can be anything. But you're believing it to be true.
• 10:00
  The O is the letter. It stands for opinions.
• 10:05
  And opinions are confident judgments about a thing without necessarily having
• 10:10
  the facts or knowledge. It's just an opinion.
• 10:12
  In other words, you know, I believe this and I believe, you know, whatever it could be.
• 10:18
  If somebody thinks that, I believe they're a failure. Right. Yeah.
• 10:21
  And it becomes, they have a belief that I'm a failure. It's a good one.
• 10:25
  And so now they've got opinions, and what happens is they begin to develop that opinion.
• 10:30
  I just know. Why do you say you're a failure? Because I'm a failure.
• 10:34
  But then what also develops in the A stands for arguments.
• 10:37
  And arguments are that accumulated reasons for believing that thing.
• 10:43
  So in the area of I'm a failure, they begin to look, and all of a sudden, it's like.
• 10:49
  In the highlight of your life, everything highlighted of failing comes to the surface.
• 10:54
  And all those become the arguments that you accumulate, which results in the
• 11:00
  T, which stands for truth.
• 11:03
  And truth is the reality by which you function in life. So here's what happens.
• 11:09
  Somebody take the thing of failure. They come in, and they're living in some
• 11:13
  kind of—I mean, it's just a stronghold in their life. And you begin to talk
• 11:18
  with them, and they're living in this idea of a failure that they can't get past.
• 11:23
  And you can try everything you want to to encourage them. They're just not going to get there.
• 11:28
  They can even say, yeah, but they're just moping around like Eeyore,
• 11:33
  it seems like, because of a belief that they are a failure.
• 11:36
  And literally, that truth in their life is the reality by which everything they do function.
• 11:45
  And so here's what I would say. In that boat, starting with beliefs.
• 11:50
  B-O-A-T, those boats always sink.
• 11:53
  And they typically sink when struggles come. When difficulty happens, they sink.
• 11:58
  And what I found happens to a lot of people, and listen, I'm not saying this about you.
• 12:02
  I've done probably the same thing, is many times we tend to want to give people
• 12:07
  patches to patch the holes in their boat. Or we want to give them a pail to
• 12:11
  bail out some of the water that keeps coming into their boat.
• 12:14
  And so if you've been around somebody, maybe you're here.
• 12:17
  You just see that maybe it's not failure. Maybe yours is something else.
• 12:21
  And it seems like your life, all you're doing is bailing water.
• 12:25
  All you're doing is, seems like fixing holes.
• 12:28
  The problem is not what you think it is. The problem is you're in the wrong boat.
• 12:34
  The Bible, however, teaches us about that. Now, I want you to think about that.
• 12:38
  And let me just read to you out of 2 Corinthians, what it says in chapter 10.
• 12:43
  And I want you to think about that B-O-A-T.
• 12:46
  And as we look at this, I want you just to listen to what the Scripture tells us.
• 12:51
  It says, beginning in 2 Corinthians 10, verses 3 through 5, For though we walk
• 12:57
  in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
• 13:01
  For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but have divine power to
• 13:08
  destroy strongholds. Remember, we talked about that last week. We destroy arguments.
• 13:14
  There's that A. And every lofty opinion, there's the opinions,
• 13:20
  raised against the knowledge of God.
• 13:22
  And take every thought, there's those beliefs, captive to being obedient to Christ.
• 13:28
  So I want you to think about that. That in our ministry, in our helping others,
• 13:33
  as we're here, that when somebody has, whether it's failure,
• 13:37
  whether it's immorality, whatever it is in their life, the enemy has a grip on them with.
• 13:43
  That the power of God's word overcomes. We have divine power to destroy those strongholds.
• 13:49
  And so what I've learned is that what you're going to come into is you're battling for truth.
• 13:55
  Because what does the Bible call itself? What does the Bible call the word of God?
• 14:00
  It calls it the word of truth. That's right.
• 14:04
  What does Jesus say? Who is he? Yeah, you know the truth.
• 14:08
  He says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Who is the spirit?
• 14:13
  Jesus calls him the spirit of truth.
• 14:15
  And so what has to happen is we've got to get in another boat.
• 14:19
  Only this boat begins with that letter T, the foundation, the truth.
• 14:25
  So we come and take every one of those beliefs captive to being obedient to the truth.
• 14:33
  And then from that obedience to the truth, so we've got to break the lies.
• 14:37
  We're going to get obedient to the truth.
• 14:39
  Then what we do is we begin helping them recreate new thoughts,
• 14:45
  develop a new way of thinking, taking every thought captive.
• 14:50
  The Bible talks about it, you know, in Romans chapter 12, whenever it says,
• 14:55
  I urge you, therefore, brothers, if you have God's mercy to offer your bodies
• 14:58
  as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable for God, this is your spiritual act of worship.
• 15:04
  And then it says, do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world,
• 15:08
  but be transformed forever.
• 15:10
  By the renewing of your mind. And what happens is those beliefs have to be transformed
• 15:16
  by the work of God, through the word of God, by the power of the Spirit.
• 15:21
  And then, over time, we begin to develop new opinions.
• 15:25
  I'm no longer, greater is he who's in me than he who's in the world.
• 15:29
  I have become a child of God.
• 15:32
  I'll tell you one story that happened. This was to actually another pastor years ago. We were praying.
• 15:38
  There was a group of four of us pastors. We were all praying together,
• 15:41
  and we were praying for him in particular.
• 15:43
  Just we took turns praying for each other and came to his time for us to pray for him.
• 15:48
  We began to pray for him, and this is what I do. As I start asking,
• 15:52
  you know, those other ones are praying.
• 15:54
  I said, well, Lord, is there anything that you want to say to him?
• 15:58
  And talking about the gifts of the Spirit a little bit here is inside of my
• 16:03
  spirit, I saw it was a picture, and it was a scene, I guess.
• 16:09
  And it was, and it's going to sound kind of strange maybe, but it was like it was a refrigerator.
• 16:13
  And you know how parents will put their kids' colors, that they color their
• 16:18
  pictures, you know, put it up there. And you have to kind of be nice,
• 16:22
  but ask them, okay, what is it? Yeah, yeah. It's great. That's you, Daddy.
• 16:25
  Always the best I've ever seen. But we put them on our refrigerator because
• 16:29
  as parents, and it's our kid.
• 16:32
  We're so proud of them. And as I saw that picture in my spirit,
• 16:36
  I just really could tell I knew the Father wanted this guy we were praying for,
• 16:43
  to him to know how proud that the Father was of him.
• 16:46
  So we finished praying, and so I said, hey, man, want to share something?
• 16:52
  I tell him that. And then I said, I said, hey, I just wanted to share this with
• 16:57
  you that I just want you to know that the Father wants you to know how proud he is of you as his son.
• 17:06
  Now, he's a little older than I am. He begins weeping.
• 17:09
  I mean, weeping. I'm like, and this is what he said to me. He hit a nerve.
• 17:15
  He said, talked about his dad. And he said, not one time in my life did my dad
• 17:21
  ever tell me he was proud of me.
• 17:23
  And what I'm saying to you is that what God did is he took.
• 17:29
  A lie that a guy was believing. And because now he's a new creation in Christ.
• 17:36
  Yeah. The father wanted him to know, hey, I know your daddy didn't tell you he was proud of you.
• 17:41
  But as your daddy, as your Abba, I want you to know I am so proud that you're
• 17:46
  my son. And it changed his life.
• 17:49
  Yes. Yeah. And that was, and here's the thing, that was deeply spiritual.
• 17:53
  Yes. And that is the absolute place. Right. That the demonic whispers lies.
• 17:59
  Man, just continually promotes in this guy this insecurity that I'm not enough.
• 18:04
  Yeah. And what had to happen is that place had to be filled up, destroyed by truth.
• 18:10
  Right. Well, I can tell you what happened to me in just talking about this.
• 18:14
  That, you know, my dad, he was just a super outgoing guy, just one of them,
• 18:19
  just jovial. If anybody have ever met Dr.
• 18:22
  Phil Jett, some of you may know who that is. Yeah, for sure.
• 18:25
  But if you live anywhere around West Tennessee, you know who my dad is or was.
• 18:31
  Just an amazing guy. And I didn't take all of that personality.
• 18:36
  I'm more of a, I would say, a loner by nature and took a little bit more of my mom's personality.
• 18:43
  And so when you've heard me say this, when I was 25 and God called me in the
• 18:48
  ministry, my very first thing to say, I was working for a company in Atlanta.
• 18:52
  My very first thing to say, that is a bad idea. Yeah, to the Lord,
• 18:55
  right? Yeah, I said, Lord, that's a bad idea.
• 18:58
  And me and him had—but I surrendered, but it was, you know, a journey.
• 19:02
  But this is what I want to say to you.
• 19:04
  Inside, there was a belief—I won't tell you that, that boat,
• 19:07
  B-O-A-T—there was a belief that I would wind up killing a jerk.
• 19:14
  And so it was in me. And so then I started having opinions about that. I'm not like my dad.
• 19:19
  I'm not super outgoing and, you know, and I'm, you know, all those things that you can have.
• 19:25
  And then what would happen is, you know, as God allows, is I could develop,
• 19:32
  I had developed super strong arguments about that.
• 19:35
  And long story short, we had a thing happen here a long time ago,
• 19:41
  back in 2011, actually is when it was.
• 19:45
  And when I got home, inside, the enemy attacked with, I mean, all guns blazing. Yeah.
• 19:54
  And said, you did it. You've destroyed the church. You did exactly what you knew would happen.
• 20:00
  And I literally, I could not sleep.
• 20:04
  And I got up finally, came back to the church, went in my office.
• 20:10
  I mean, laid, you know, you've probably done this, laid out before God.
• 20:14
  I'm crying for God. And there's one side of me that just hopes he says, oh, come on, buddy.
• 20:19
  You know, it's not that bad. He ain't saying nothing.
• 20:22
  And I was down there for, I would say, 45 minutes.
• 20:26
  And finally, in the silence of no response, I just get up and I sat down.
• 20:31
  And I'll never forget this. Sitting on my desk,
• 20:35
  I had just laid out the understanding
• 20:38
  of what I talk about in the book on about the two kingdoms
• 20:41
  the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light
• 20:44
  yeah and how in each kingdom there's what
• 20:47
  i call realms there's the spirit realm where
• 20:50
  angels and demons reside there's the
• 20:53
  natural realm where a fallen world and the
• 20:56
  church reside and then there's the personal realm the old self and the new self
• 21:02
  new creation in christ i've just laid that out and god had given me a promise
• 21:08
  that through just a divine way about me and about my ministry,
• 21:14
  and I'd received it, but I didn't receive it. Yeah.
• 21:18
  You know, I saw it, but I had this other belief, another boat. I was in another boat.
• 21:23
  And in that moment, I looked down at that, I'll never forget that little yellow
• 21:27
  piece of paper that I'd written it on.
• 21:30
  And the Spirit of God said, David, that belief that you're going to destroy
• 21:34
  a church comes It's from the kingdom of darkness. It's from the other boat.
• 21:40
  And you've got a decision. It's a faith decision. You're either going to continue
• 21:44
  to believe the lie and leave ministry because I was going to resign that morning.
• 21:50
  Or you're going to believe the promise of the truth I gave you.
• 21:54
  And it was a faith decision. And honestly, and at my own, you may be watching
• 21:57
  and may be in something like this.
• 21:59
  I didn't feel like this side that the promises God had given me was true, but I faithed it.
• 22:07
  And I just chose to, by faith, embrace it.
• 22:10
  And immediately this left, and it was gone, and I was in that new mode of truth.
• 22:16
  So that's just how it works. Man, well, so for us personally,
• 22:21
  the battle, and I love, you know, you go back to just the simplicity of the
• 22:26
  good news of Jesus, the gospel of Christ.
• 22:29
  It's to bring us by the power of the Spirit to those places that we rightly
• 22:33
  believe, that we put faith in, man, the full work of Christ on our behalf. But it don't stop there.
• 22:41
  And the spiritual war, the same war to keep us from believing that Jesus can
• 22:46
  make us his child, sons and daughters of God Most High, part of his church,
• 22:51
  the kingdom that will last forever.
• 22:53
  Now the enemy is trying to keep us from rightly believe things about ourselves, about our future.
• 22:59
  You know, I'm thinking about the people that we're ministering to.
• 23:02
  I mean, we'll have dudes that will think, I will never do anything but mess up. Mm-hmm.
• 23:09
  Yeah. Yeah. And that the enemy has entrapped him in such a way.
• 23:14
  Or the lie of, if it's not shame, it's indulgence.
• 23:19
  It's like, well, you're just one more woman away from satisfaction. Right.
• 23:23
  You know, or you're one more, it's to feed that sinful appetite.
• 23:28
  And what God allows us to do, being a part of, is help people get to the place to believe truth. Yes.
• 23:36
  But you got to help them identify. Right. they lie they got to see the lie you
• 23:40
  gotta see the lie and then show them the truth yeah so maybe to end with this
• 23:44
  for them for somebody's listening right now.
• 23:48
  Or if they're ministering or they're walking out and
• 23:51
  then this week they're gonna pray for somebody yeah so i've
• 23:54
  heard you do this a million times uh maybe for them or for somebody else how
• 23:58
  do you help them take that faith step yeah yeah yeah so here's what i would
• 24:02
  say to you is that first of all i would say that um god loves you more than
• 24:06
  you'll ever imagine and he is for you yeah not against you in fact i've learned this,
• 24:12
  about the lord he wants you to be victorious
• 24:16
  and successful in life and in ministry more than
• 24:19
  you do mm-hmm and he knows the way to take you
• 24:21
  there and so this is what I would say is that
• 24:25
  taking that faith step is simply the next
• 24:28
  right step it's just choosing the truth
• 24:31
  yeah and and saying this is the way I do it I say Lord again I don't know what
• 24:37
  I'm doing but I know you do yeah and I'm choosing to follow you mm-hmm and so
• 24:43
  for some of you here you may be in the middle of a stronghold that you were about to give up.
• 24:49
  And for whatever weird reason, you got on this podcast, somebody told you about it or sent it to you.
• 24:55
  And you're sitting here just saying, I can't believe I'm hearing this.
• 24:58
  Well, I would say to you that the reason you're hearing it is because God hears
• 25:03
  your cries and he calls out to you and says, I'm your hope.
• 25:08
  And so, in fact, the reason that I wrote the book was not because I want to write a book.
• 25:13
  But I began to realize, and God began to speak into my heart,
• 25:16
  David, I have invested 30 years into your life,
• 25:20
  teaching you some of these principles and these things, not so that you can
• 25:25
  have cool stories, but because he has a big body of Christ out here that are
• 25:30
  longing for help and to be encouraged.
• 25:33
  And so just know that God's for you.
• 25:36
  Step in and walk in it. For some of you, you're going to step into an encounter
• 25:41
  with somebody this week. Hey, remember the idea of the boat and use that if
• 25:45
  it helps you. Use that and just walk them through it.
• 25:48
  Encourage them that Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Amen.
• 25:55
  Why don't we pray for him? Yeah. Come on. I love it. Close us out. Yeah.
• 25:59
  Father, we thank you that in the midst of a world that is bound in lie,
• 26:05
  bound in the fallen reality of what took place in the garden in the fall of Genesis 3.
• 26:13
  That Jesus, you came not to just give us band-aids, but to give us victory.
• 26:18
  You came to overcome, to destroy the works of the enemy.
• 26:22
  And you've been doing that ever since the cross and the empty tomb.
• 26:26
  And you've been doing it all along the way. And you say you're going to continue
• 26:30
  to do it until the last enemy of death is destroyed.
• 26:35
  So until that time, Father, we're asking right now that you would release the
• 26:39
  victory upon victory in the lives of those that are listening,
• 26:43
  in the lives of those that these who are listening are going to be with even this week.
• 26:49
  And, God, I just ask that the truth would set so many people free,
• 26:54
  that your kingdom would be built up, would advance for your glory.
• 27:00
  And, Lord Jesus, that you would just, in these victories, be lifted higher.
• 27:07
  And we give you all the glory, Father. And pray it in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
• 27:13
  Well, again, man, thank you for your time, Brother Dave. Thank you for these
• 27:16
  three podcasts. I'd encourage you to share it with somebody.
• 27:19
  And we'll let you know when the book's released how to do it to all of our OneCry
• 27:24
  followers so that you can share it with other people. And I just encourage you today.
• 27:29
  Man, there's just more places of freedom for you personally,
• 27:31
  also to help others find freedom.
• 27:34
  And so that Jesus has won the victory. Let's go appropriate it in Christ's name.
• 27:39
  So look forward to seeing you next week. We'll start a whole new series. See you then.
• 27:44
  Music.
